U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered the Iranian delegation that had come to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly to immediately leave the country, according to Axios, citing sources, as reported by Kommersant.
The demand came after talks between Tehran and Washington reached an impasse. According to sources, the White House had hoped that contacts with the Iranian side could produce some progress, but it later became clear that the parties were unable to overcome their differences.
The report did not specify the precise topics discussed during the negotiations, the exact composition of the Iranian delegation, or the timeline within which it was ordered to leave the United States. No official comments from the U.S. State Department or the Iranian side on the Axios report are cited.
The incident comes against a backdrop of ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran that have periodically affected diplomatic engagement at international forums, including the UN General Assembly.
Further details are expected to emerge as both sides respond to the report.
